Technically, any treatment plan devised to treat the problem of addiction should be considered a long-term treatment plan, as the treatment and recovery will be taking place over a long amount of time. When medical professionals and experienced addiction treatment professionals refer to long-term treatment plans, they are speaking more from the planning aspect of this long term recovery. Planning out the entire recovery from detox to sober living, to continued addiction counseling can spread anywhere from one year to several years, to a lifetime.
While not all programs will plan out every detail of recovery throughout your lifetime, a good long-term addiction treatment and recovery plan will take you through all of your initial detox sessions, into treatment in an outpatient or inpatient facility, through sober living, and continue through any necessary follow-up treatments or additional counseling.
It has been proven that an individual that enters into a well-planned addiction treatment and recovery program, will have an easier time throughout their recovery, and has a much higher success rate of a full addiction recovery. While a good plan is only half the battle, that good plan gives you a better entry into the fight against addiction, and a better chance at a wholehearted involvement into the recovery process.
